Vandals spray painted a rim... how to get it off?

So some ******* decided to spraypaint one of my rims, including the center cap. Already tried to get it off with paint thinner -- no go. Anyone else got any ideas?

I managed to finally get it off of the rim with some SOS pads. It came off of the center cap with lots of soap and hard scrubbing... I'm reallllly glad it came off... freaking punks.

If the paint is a cheap spray paint and its fresh I think brake cleaner will take it off.
